Live-in Carer Jobs in East Dulwich

Live-in care in East Dulwich means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for longer placements and bring continuity and companionship that local services value.

Right now, 95 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you currently work through an agency or as a bank carer and want more control, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families in East Dulwich and the wider Southwark area. As a live-in carer you’ll support personal care, meals, medication prompts, mobility assistance and companionship — and you’ll be the familiar face who understands a person’s home and routine.

Pay and flexibility are central. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical pay ranges are shown on the platform: £145–£160 per day. For clarity, common figures shown are £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly work and £145–£160 per day per day for live-in arrangements. You manage availability and breaks with each family so the arrangement suits both of you.

PrimeCarers looks after the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

The role suits experienced, dependable carers who want continuity rather than shift-to-shift handovers. You should be comfortable living with someone, keeping routines consistent and working within an agreed pattern of care and rest. Live-in placements often attract carers from nearby towns and beyond — families may be searching across Peckham Rye, Dulwich, Nunhead, Herne Hill, Peckham and Denmark Hill and surrounding neighbourhoods.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references.
